CREATE

 

Description: This function allows the user to generate sets with unique ID numbers.  The respective element/node/part may be included in multiple sets.

 

Usage:

 

1.      DSI prompts:

>      ENTER NEW (type) SET NUMBER (X) OR E TO EXIT

 •      Any integer greater than zero (0) is valid.

•     If the user enters a set ID number already assigned, DSI returns the prompt:

                   >     (type) SET   xxxx  ALREADY EXISTS

 

2.      DSI prompts:

>      SELECT (element/node/part)

•     The user may press the left most mouse button or "N" to select the element nearest to the cursor.

•     If the user selects the same element/node/part twice while creating a set, DSI returns the prompt:

>   (type) xxxx ALREADY PICKED

 •      If the user selects DONE/EXIT, DSI saves the set and prompts:

>   X (type) INCLUDED IN (type) SET X

•     If the user selects ABORT, DSI deletes the node set and returns the user to the SET submenu.
